'Have a really good think of all the things you
shouldn't be doing with your day - things like worrying, getting stressed

naughty feelings creep in, look back at your list and take five minutes to get
back on the feel good track.'

Swap clothes: Gok said one way to enhance your wardrobe without spending money is to share clothes with your friends

The fashion guru's next feel good tip is to get that buzz you get from buying a new outfit without spending a penny. He said you can do this by revitalising your wardrobe by swapping clothes with friends.

He said: 'Arrange a clothes swap night with your girlfriends and you may find
something that you never knew they had hiding in the back of their
closets. Maybe there's a Christmas present you didn’t quite take a fancy
to for example.'

Your unwanted item could create a whole new look for a friend who might be able to return the favour by giving you clothes that don't suit or fit them.

HOW TO LOOK GOOD IN PHOTOS: Gok shares the secretof the stars

Celebrities have mastered the art of how to pose for flattering pictures on the red carpet and now you can too. Here, Gok explains how to master the art of looking slim simply by striking a pose...

'One thing I hear a lot from women is
how can I look good in front of the camera, whether that's birthday
photos or wedding photos,' he said.

'There's one very small trick, turn your body
30 degrees, one hip out, drop your weight down, slouch one shoulder then
bring your entire torso round. What that does is stretches your entire
body round, almost like a helter skelter, and gives us that beautiful
curve from your waist. I guarantee hand on my Gok, it's fail safe!'
